STRONGSVILLE, Ohio – When Cleveland.com’s best cassata cake creator Jennifer Thornton moved to France in 2007, she was not a baker. She was not an aspiring baker. She had not been to Sicily or even tasted cassata cake.
The experience led Thornton, who was fluent in French, to managing an olive oil store Première Pression Provence in Paris’s Marais and Île Saint-Louis neighborhoods. “I carry the almond theme through to the sponge cake, omitting the limoncello-soaked sponge,” she says. “I’ve created a richer glaze for the top and like to keep it simple with just a few candied fruits and incorporating either the Sicilian pistachios or almonds for a more natural cake.
While her cassata cake received judges’ approval, Thornton is still looking for an Ohio cheesemaker who uses traditional methods to produce fresh ricotta from goat or sheep milk, just like the cheesemakers in Sicily. That, she expects, will make the cake’s flavors and textures even better.
